Pep Guardiola’s side face the Blades at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 22 April for the last-four tie, with kick-off scheduled for 16:45 (UK).
We enter the tie buoyed by securing passage into the same stage of the UEFA Champions League last time out with a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich, which confirmed a 4-1 aggregate success.
Not only did it see the Blues reach the last four of the European competition for the third successive season – but it also extended our unbeaten run in all competitions to 15 games.
However, reaching the FA Cup final is far from a formality against a Blades side who are closing in on a return to the Premier League after a phenomenal Championship campaign.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side currently sit second in the second tier, seven points clear of third-placed Luton Town with four league matches remaining.
The boss described the task of the Yorkshire side as ‘an extremely difficult game’.
And we were hard at work in training, as our gallery shows, as we aim to reach the showpiece event at the end of the season.
